Barbie Stays Put in Malibu – Pulls Dreamhouse Off the Market

Earlier this year, Barbie put her Dreamhouse on the market, with Mr. Million Dollar Listing Broker Josh Altman, as her listing broker. It was a pretty big deal, after all – Barbie was moving and where she decided to end up would be anyone’s guess. The cosmopolitan blonde would have to pick someplace that lived up to her pink designer expectations, would offer great locales for brunch dates, and be inspiring enough for her to try on a career or two. Would it be New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, or maybe even Paris or London? Decisions – decisions.

However, no matter where the blond vixen traveled – Malibu always seemed to be in her heart. So Barbie has decided to yank her Dreamhouse off the market and instead just renovate it. Perhaps she was inspired by Jeff Lewis, or perhaps the search for a new home ended up being too stressful. In the end, staying close to friends and family, and especially Ken was Barbie’s highest priority, and of course the ocean views.

That said, this isn’t the first, and it probably won’t be the last time that the infamous Dreamhouse has gone through a major renovation.

In any case, the 2013 Barbie Dreamhouse will be outfitted with 2 elevators, 6 total rooms, one room dedicated to her walk-in closet, a dedicated wardrobe elevator for moving her clothing from the third floor closet to the second floor bathroom (discrete clothing changes of course), and a balcony with ocean views.

So far, the new and improved 2013 Barbie Dreamhouse seems like a keeper, and with all its upgrades, the next time she puts it on the market, it could fetch even more. Walmart is selling Barbie’s 2013 Dreamhouse for a mere fraction of the renovation costs. So if you want to check out her new digs – Barbie is ready for guests.
